As we get older that realization hits all of us. I've had back pain for 30 years. Early on I could just push through it. At some point I had to get honest with myself and that there's just stuff I can't do anymore and I have to ask for help which I used to never do. I've found that to be more common with other aspects of my life. I've just come to accept I'm not near the man I used to be physically or even mentally.
